Thermal energy Part 4. Particle model theory applied to motion - thermal energy transfers in state changes

Sub-index for this section on applying particle theory to state changes, latent heat, internal energy

4.1 Kinetic particle theory to explain gas. liquid & solid thermal energy stores

4.2 What is the internal energy of a substance?

4.3 Energy transfer in state changes, conservation of mass, no chemical change

4.4 Introduction to latent heat and physical changes of state

4.5 A heating curve - state changes on increasing the internal energy of a system

4.6 A cooling curve - state changes on decreasing the internal energy of a system

4.7 Everyday examples of latent heat internal energy transfers, defining specific latent heat, examples of worked-out calculations involving specific latent heat

4.8 The particle model of a gas - motion and gas pressure calculations

4.9 Considering the internal and external pressures of a container of gas - the effects of changing quantity, volume or temperature

4.10 Increasing the energy store of gas - work done and temperature effects
